Frequently Asked Questions
How is EMDR Basic Training structured?
The basic training is organized into three parts typically held over three weekends. Each weekend includes a didactic portion with lecture, discussion, and videotape demonstrations of EMDR skills and concepts. Trainees will practice EMDR methods with one another to address real issues as a way to learn the process as well as to understand it from a client's point of view. There is a case consultation component in each weekend segment where trainees will learn to apply EMDR therapy with their current clients. There are three post-training case consultation sessions to help you apply what you are learning with your clients. The Center's EMDR Therapy Basic Training is a 6-month process — from the first weekend segment to the last case consultation session — because we are committed to providing you with a solid foundation in the core elements of this powerful methodology.
